Question Panhard drop bracket bolt-on 3rd gen

Does anyone know if there is a panhard bar drop bracket for a 3rd gen 4runner. If so, where can I get one. I saw one for a 2nd gen, hoping I can find one for a 3rd Gen. Help Please....

he means that you just replace the whole bar with one that is dropped. hence the name, dropped panhard bar

It's not at all possible to have a 100% bolt on panhard drop bar on a 3rd gen. It must be welded. For bolt on, spend the cash on the bent bar.

The best way to correct the geometry is to drop the pivot point (panhard drop). The bent bar looks very nice and is probably the best solution for true hardcore offroad use because it preserves as much of the travel as possible (while sacrificing some of the stock suspension geometry), but you could just use a slightly lengthened straight bar and it would do the same thing (just wouldn't look as cool). The bar is bent does not compensate for the pivots being moved in relation to one another.

.....kinda reminds me of the airplane trying to take off on a treadmill problem.
